	Disney Magic Cruise Ship from Disney Cruise Lines
		The bathrooms on Magic are unique in that they are divided into a "bath and a half" configuration in all but the least expensive inside cabins.
		The deck parties on Magic were the most widely attended (by all age groups) of any I have ever seen and no one quit until the lights were out.
		Note: You can bring liquor on board Disney ships and you may use it in your stateroom, but if you buy duty-free from their shop, it is held for you until the end of the cruise.

		Still, grown-ups as well as kids are likely to enjoy this stunning ship, whose cabins are huge and beautifully decorated, because it has that Disney quality of attention to detail and finding something interesting in everything you see.
		Disney's cuisine has improved dramatically since the ship was introduced, to the point at which it can now be said to rival Princess's, with All-American and Continental fare likely to please all but the most sophisticated palate.
		The deck parties on Magic are some of the most enthusiastically attended at sea, with the Pirates of the Caribbean one being a particular highlight.

	About Your Ship: Disney Magic
		The experiment was such a success that the company commissioned two ships to be built to exacting Disney standards, with the most modern technology inside and the sleek classical lines of earlier ocean-going ships on the outside.
		In all, this ship is a study in contrasts, blending elegant sophistication on the one hand and joyous, Disney-fied abandon on the other, ultimately merging perfectly into a wonderful whole.
		Magic alternates seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries, but in May, 2005, she will move to the West Coast for 12 weeks, offering seven-night Mexican Riviera cruises from Los Angeles to celebrate the 50th birthday of Disneyland.

	Seafaring Magic
		For although the Disney Magic is designed to captivate travelers of all ages with plenty of entertainment options and activity areas, a floating theme park it is not.
		The Magic was constructed at the Fincantieri Shipyards in Ancona and Venice, Italy, where finishing touches are now being completed on its sister ship, the Disney Wonder, set to sail by summer's end.
		The ship's other main restaurants are Lumiere's, with a French flair inspired by Beauty and the Beast; and Parrot Cay, where Caribbean cuisine is served in a casual setting and lighting creates the look of an indoor/outdoor environment under the palm trees.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Ship of Magic
		Ship of Magic is the newest from Robin Hobb, author of the acclaimed Farseer Trilogy.
		The start of a new series, Ship of Magic is set in the same world as the trilogy but is, so far, entirely unrelated.
		It is a tale set around Liveships -- sentient, magical sailing ships -- for which families mortgage themselves for generations to build and which are unparalleled on the sea.

	Trader Bay - The Liveship Traders by Robin Hobb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The ship becomes the focus of an argument which splits the family.
		I liked Ship of Magic, but I loved Mad Ship as it added depth to the characters in the same way Royal Assassin really defined Fitz's character in Farseer.
		Ship of Destiny is a fitting ending to a great series, but the ending, while complete, left me wanting to know what happenned next.

		The only downside of this is that I for one am never able to tear myself away from her books- you'll certainly discover how eating and drinking are seconary considerations when you have such a masterpiece as this in your hands.
		Throughout the book, the author interweaves the story of the liveship traders, the story of the sea serpents who are driven by an instinct to search for their 'beginnings' and the tale of Kennick, a ruthless man determined to be King of the Pirates.

	SciFan: Books: Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb (from our database of Fantasy & SF novels, anthologies, collections)
		Ship of Magic is a sea tale, reminiscent of Moby Dick and Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series in its details of shipboard life.
		The liveships have distinct personalities and partner with specific people, somewhat like Anne McCaffrey's Brain ships and their Brawns, though these are trading ships and have full crews.
		Their stories are intercut with those of Kennit, the ambitious pirate Brashen, the disinherited scion of another family who served on the Vestritt's ship, and Paragon, an old liveship abandoned and believed mad.

		It lives up to its predecessors, Ship of Magic and Mad Ship in every way: the characters continue to develop, the plot moves swiftly, and the setting is vividly realized.
		The magic involved in these books is not the magic of Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, the Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathon Stroud, or most fantasy books, although it has some kinship to the themes in "Eragon" by Christopher Paolini.
		Ship of Destiny is the concluding volume in Robin Hobb's Liveship Traders Trilogy.

	SHIP OF MAGIC
		Each ship is extremely expensive, and a trader family might have to work for generations to pay one off.
		There is Althea Vestrit, the willful young daughter of the ship's captain who thought she was going to inherit the ship only to have those hopes dashed upon his death.
		Ship of Magic is a superb book, though, totally engrossing, and much better than the enjoyable Assassin's Apprentice.

	Disney Magic :: Cruise Ship Overview
		The Disney theme is everywhere — Mickey Mouse’s ears are on the funnel, the ship’s whistle plays “When You Wish Upon A Star”, all the favourite Disney characters are on board and there is artwork all around the ship from Disney films.
		Unsurprisingly, the ship is very family-orientated, for example, the cabins have a separate toilet and bathroom, and there is an excellent kids’ club.
		Disney Magic operates seven-night Caribbean cruises, and most of the passengers are American.

	Review of "Ship of Magic"
		Ship of Magic is another solid piece of work from Robin Hobb, who vaulted from near obscurity to fantasy superstardom with her trio of Farseer books: Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin, and Assassin's Quest.
		Ship of Magic, the first installment of a new series called The Liveship Traders, is set in the same world as the Farseer books, but in a different country and featuring a new, wider range of characters.
		Ship of Magic is sort of like listening to The Cure for five hours -- if you don't end up sticking your head in the oven, you enjoy it.

		Mad Ship continues the tale of the Vestrit family and their struggles to survive following the death of the family patriarch.
		Althea has continued her quest to regain the captaincy of the liveship Vivacia and the pirate Kennit continues his campaign against the slavers and his dream of a kingdom.

		Many unresolved questions from Ship of Magic are answered in this tale of sea serpents and dragons; living ships made of wizardwood; the Bingtown Trader families who sail the ships; and their disfigured cousins, the Rain Wild Traders, who build them.
		After being banned from the deck of the slaughter ship the Reaper because she's a woman, without her well-deserved ship ticket, and after breaking up with her companion Brashen Trell, Althea Vestrit is hired as mate on board a Bingtown-bound Liveship, the Ophelia.
		And when the ship betrays her secret to Captain Tenira, Althea fears she'll be given the sack again.

		Liveships are made of wizardwood, a magical substance so valuable that the four-generation old debt of the Vestrits is still being repaid.
		She has spent most of her life at see with her father and was shocked when he did not leave her the ship in his will.
		While it is set in the same world as the earlier books, Ship of Magic hardly mentions anything even remotely familiar to the readers.

		Merchants, pirates, slavers, and hunters (meat ships) are all brought to life in a fantasy setting that seems to draw on the 18th century British Empire for its inspiration.
		There are several stories going on in this book: Althea's quest to regain her ship, Kennit's quest to become a king of pirates, Ronica's quest to keep her family together, the serpents' quest for who-knows-what, the mystery of Paragon, the political intrigue surrounding Bingtown and, most compelling of all, Wintrow's story.
		His youngest daughter, Althea, feels her it is her rightful legacy to command the Vivacia but the elders of the family, her mother, Ronica, and her older sister, Keffria, persuade Ephron before his death that it is in the family's best interests to give the captain's chair to Keffria's husband, Kyle Haven.

	Cybamuse Independent Book Reviews - Fantasy: Robin Hobb
		After the slow meandering of Ship of Magic, it was good to have a solid read - and at 906 pages - it had to be readable!
		After wasting an entire novel setting up the scenario Ship of Magic, Hobb now grabbed the reigns and plunged her characters into increasingly desperate situations which have you compulsively turning the page.
		The story focuses on Althea, a daughter with an affinity for a Liveship; Kyle, the shallow and mean brother-in-law who inherits her ship, Kennit, a pirate with grand dreams.

	Boards O' Magick: Robin Hobb - Ship of Magic - Review
		These are ships that are made of a special wood that makes them come alive and almost sail themselves.
		The magical world is really only just a setting in which Hobb’s characters live.
		One thing I like about Hobb's books is most magic (leaving aside some examples) operates at a 'background' level and life for the characters is often quite mundane.
